Problem is reaction time. There are a few seconds to react. And if one does not destroy the warhead of the missile, it has enough kinetic energy to reach the ship and impact, despite wrecked missile.

Oh…
Supporters of terrorists are fighting against terrorists… LOL…

Oh wait! Terrorists or freedom fighters? Who knows… Today you can name whatever one likes.

I do not understand the intention of this thread. It is not possible to compare the aircrafts by their losses or their victories.

A long loiter aircraft is OK. But one does not need simultaneously targeting. With long loiter one has the time to pick out one target after the other. Well, as long as the IS do not have MANPADS one can take every cheap and cost efficient aircraft for that job with the adequate loiter time, even a Cessna. IMHO fast movers are a waste of money for such jobs.

May be something like AC-130 would be more cost efficient, with a Derringer Door on the ramp. Guns and small missiles are more cost efficient than expensive big missiles. The US could hunt for pick-up convoys like in the 60ies trucks in Laos. In the desert and with modern surveillance systems it should be no problem.

In the first generation of “stealth” that may have been true. Newer fighters designed for LO use the fuel as a heat dump, comms/datalinks that are directed (MADL) etc., LPI radar that jumps frequencies, and passive detection that was not possible with the first generation of Low Observable fighters. In theory, engineers have tried to solve the problems that you have stated, to what degree they have been successful is a matter of conjecture and not likely to be open source information.

You can not fool physics. Higher speed means friction and friction means heat. Heat must be discharged somewhere. If you keep the heat inside the whole aircraft will radiate heat or it will overheat with all it’s high tech inside. This is insane for modern aircrafts. This means you have to get rid of the heat and this can be gathered by IR-sensors. Nothing radiating is invisible. Even LPI radar you can spot with modern latest technology and sensitive broad band ESM gear. If your opponent knows you are there, but he doesn’t know where, he can take adequate measures to spot you. For example switch on bistatic/multistatic radars, long wavelength radars and EO sensors. IMHO even today a real stealth aircraft is an absolute silence aircraft with no radiations and no heat footprint.

Is the problem with the weak rear ramp solved?

I can not understand why there are two towers. Every nation is building aircraft carriers with one tower only and they get smaller and smaller (Ford class).
